'Jersey Shore' recap: 'A House Divided'

It's time for the fallout from Sammi and Ronnie's blow-out last week. After a night of fighting, she eventually says that she understands how Ronnie is feeling and apologizes for contacting Arvin from the bar. Ronnie doesn't seem very comforted. "So if a girl showed up looking for me…" he begins. "I would kill her," concludes Sammi.

Ronnie thinks that the whole thing still seems shady and wonders why Sammi would contact the guy in the first place. She suggests that it was to get a rise out of him, although he says he would never have expected that from her. "I don't even know if I love Sam at this point," he says. "I'm just kind of 'ew' about her. I don't think I want to be with a girl like that." Sammi tries to encourage him to come to bed, but he decides to stay on the couch downstairs alone.

Sammi heads to work with Snooki and Deena the next day. It's everyone's final day at the T-Shirt shop and Deena's not in the mood for providing good customer service, preferring to focus on making clothes for herself. Her boss ends the day by congratulating her on being the "worst employee" of the season. Mike, meanwhile, marks his last day by getting "fired" when he falls asleep in the changing room. "Getting fired from the Shore Store. You'll never amount to anything," laughs the boss.

Snooki goes for a burger with Vinny later, and privately admits that she's still struggling with her feelings for him. The conversation seems to take an awkward turn when Vinny says that he had fun with the girl the previous night. Snooki thinks she was "gross", but Vinny points out they're in Seaside so she should cut him some slack. "Hello?" she says privately. "I'm here to hook up with and you still haven't. What the f**k is wrong with me?" Vinny, meanwhile, confesses that there is a chance he could get serious with Snooki in the future.

The group - minus Ronnie and Sam - go clubbing that night but there's an unwelcome surprise in store for Pauly - his alleged stalker has shown up. "She's the only thing that scares me in Seaside," he says. "She's everywhere I turn around! I'm not going anywhere alone!" The boys aren't impressed by the level of female talent at the club either. "I'm looking for the one flower in the weeds," muses Vinny, who is sporting newly-pierced ears. Nevertheless, the guys assemble a group of girls to bring home.

The party continues at the house until there's a knock on the door - it's the brother of Vinny's girl, which instantly puts a damper on his mood. "She was DTF but when family gets involved, it gets a little bit too weird," he laments. Pauly sees his chance to get another girl to leave, asking the brother if he can give her a lift home. She's totally unimpressed: "I'd rather f**k Mike anyway." Eventually they all leave, prompting Vinny to grab Snooki and drag her to the bedroom, before revealing he's only joking about hooking up. Snook is furious! "I'm not anybody's last resort," she says. "I'm somebody's first priority. I'm not going to deal with that from Vinny." He apologizes repeatedly but she's still upset, saying that his jokes make her look stupid. She goes to bed, and Vinny turns his attentions to Sammi, challenging her to a rap battle, which includes the line 'Sammi is the sneakiest bitch I've ever met'. Sam ends the game. "What the f**k is wrong with him?" she wonders. "It's not OK to sit there and say that to me".

Meanwhile, it's been a good night for Ronnie and Sam as a couple. They've talked about their problems and although they still have trust issues, Ron's comfortable enough to ask Sam to sleep in the same bed as him. Unfortunately for her, she forgets to take her contact lenses out and ends up going to the doctor with Ronnie in the morning. While they're out, Ronnie's mom calls to express her concerns about the couple to Deena, JWoww and Mike. Mike decides to recount what happened with Arvin, which infuriates Sammi when she gets home.

The boys seem pretty adamant that Sammi has done something wrong, particularly when Mike recalls what he has heard said about the situation with Arvin from others. Jenni, however, thinks that Ronnie is being "brainwashed" by the guys, watching as they tell Ronnie that Sam could have called girlfriends or her sister if she wanted someone to hang out with. Ronnie thinks Mike is trying to "stir the pot" but also believes he is acting as a friend, although the girls seem to be on Sam's side and can't understand why Ron is following Mike's lead.

After a screaming match with Sammi ("You're the worst argument person ever!" says Mike. "You repeat everything you say!"), Mike decides to put an end to the did she/didn't she situation by phoning Arvin and directly asking if he hooked up with Sam. The episode ends with Arvin telling Mike and Ron that he "made out" with Sammi, prompting Ronnie to storm outside. "I'm done with her," he shouts. "Biggest liar I ever met in my life!"
